LasU SATURDAY IHOIHiup we WoIo
treated to refreshing shower of rain.
1t makes the vegetation look green but
hardly touched the roots of potatoes
and corn; small grain looks we'll. but
the hay crop will be short.
On Sunday. May 5th, Carl Kleinpell
took stroll in the wood lot or brush
pasture, belonging to the north end of
the Dewey farm, the pasture contains
over 1000 acres of land and good deal
of underbrush. and better hunters than
Mr.. Kleinpell have lost their bearing
so did Mr.. walking as the
universe moves. in q circle. He came
to the. fence at one and the same place
several times, but finally he found his
| COW. the object of his search, and start
ing her up, she instinctively took bee
! line for home and thus brought Carl
out of the wilderness.
The Llnehanson came up on Sunday
afternoon with u crowd, perhaps 1875 to
$50 excursionists from Dubuque, mostly
young people. who were bent on having
all the fun that could be reached The
band boys threw open the Concert Hall
for them and these Dubuquers started
a social dance, and soon, however, our
village marshal. Mr.. Elskamp, got wind
of it and he went to the hall to stop the
dance. In this however he failed-he
was elected sans cerimonY and after
that, any little knot of five or six men
in the street might be heard discussing
the matter pro and con, and dire threats
of boycott were heard in many direc-
tons, and the great big and the in
significant little u, were in order until
late in the evening. The saloons are
claimed, however, to have been closed
all day.
| Monday, June 6th-yesterdav' affairs
are discussed freely, as the report is
out. that the marshal has reported yes
terday's doings at headquarters to
District Attorney Murphy that some of
the band boys are to be pulled for
resisting an officer, and that several
saloonists are to be pulled under section
1864, for selling the ardent on Sunday.
Your correspondent rejoices that on
that day he was under his own vine and
fig tree, hence can be no witness. 1t is
bad move and causes deal of bad
blood and it is hard to tell where it will
end.
A good many queer ideas are adj
yanced in connection with the enforce
ment of section 1864 of the Revised
Statutes, in discussing the same, but
when a man who has made his first
''raise'' by selling whisky by the drink
to his fellowm en-, claims that he has
been main factor in building up tho
town, it becomes refreshing.
Another little spec of war is threaten
ing the peaceful horizon of Cassville,
that is. the fishery question. While the
dimension of our fishing ground is not
as extensive as that in dispute between
Uncle Sans boys and those Cannucks,
the bad blood engendered by it among
our boys is equaling the intensity of that
stirred up between the Cannucks and
Uncle Sans boys-our boys each
claims so much ground for his trout
line and in daytime they will carefully
watch their ground and line. but when
night comes some of the boys make out
that other boys trout lines walk. Fun
begins-boys, mo theirs and sisters raise
the cry to arms, and we imagine that
that is about the way it runs between
Uncle Sans boys and the Cannucks.
